What does that mean for fans and soon-to-be fans? It means new looks, new stories, new continuity, new prices (now a mere $2.99 per book, dropping from $3.99), and the advent of the digital age. Tomorrow, not only does DC take the entire line and turn it upside down and inside out, but it also offers it's new digital service for all you iPad users.
What does this mean for to tried and true comic book shop? What does it mean for the industry? What does it mean for DC Comics, let alone Marvel Comics - recently swallowed whole by the Disney Corporation back in December of 2009).

Check the article for further sales figures).
